Striped Gradient

Hi lovelies. Ugh, my bones are aching today, I think I stood in the cold way too long yesterday...and I'm going swimming tonight too. I think I might sink! Anyway, I've got some nail art today. It didn't quite turn out how I'd imagined it in my head, but I ended up really liking it!

I started with a base of China Glaze Fast Track. I added some striping tape over the top, then sponged on a gradient with Fast Track and OPI My Private Jet. Then I removed the tape and finished with an NYC top coat. 





I just love black and gold together! Fast Track ended up looking a different colour when I sponged it on, which is why the stripes don't fade out, which was my original intention. I like the effect though!
